I was recently interviewed by AllBusiness.com about the issues that cause marketers to miss the mark with their marketing content. I cover these issues and more in my new book, eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale.

In this podcast, you'll learn the answers to these questions:

  • What's the biggest turn off with marketing content?
  • What happens when your content is full of generalities?
  • Why is content strategy important?
  • What problems can occur due to "voice" and writing style?
  • Why does setting context make a difference?
  • What's the difference between a call to action and a takeaway?
  • How do I find out if my content is doing what it should?
  • What's the best way to engage people with marketing content?
  • And a couple of extra tips pulled from my 23 Reasons Content Marketing Fails blog post

 


AllBusiness.com Podcast: How to Handicap Your Target Market

In the podcast I talk about:

  • How a handicapping approach works -
    • Circumstances - the trigger events that create need for what you sell
    • Characteristics - the traits like roles, responsibilities and influencers that dictate your buyers' behavior and what they need to build a business case to buy.
  • Handicapping as a group process involving salespeople and customers.
  • Defining personas
  • What kinds of questions you need to answer from the buyers' perspective to create content with higher relevance.
  • Examples of persona-driven outcomes
  • And more...

I also delve into this subject extensively in my new book, eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale. I present the idea of extending the persona into the creation of buyer synopses, which is essentially the combination of personas with a targeted problem-to-solution scenario. The outcome of this work is producing the insights that help marketers develop highly relevant content for progressive nurturing programs.
